Public debt as % of the GDP. (Europe)



The Gross Domestic Product is used to compare countries or to determine if a country is headed for economic turmoil. The debt-to-GDP ratio is a way to measure a country's debt. It is also an easy way to compare a country's economic output (measured by gross domestic production) with its debt levels. The debt-to-GDP ratio is a way to measure a country's debt. To find the ratio, divide the country's debt by its GDP. If a country has a high ratio, or higher than 100%, it means that it is not producing enough to pay off its debt. A ratio of 100% indicates that there is enough production to pay off the debt, while a lower ratio means that there is not enough economic output to pay off the debt.
